i agree honey, have you been yet?

I had the same kind of problems and I would recommend asking the doctor for Progesterone to bring on a new cycle and Clomid to try to bring about a timed ovulation. That is the regimen I was given and it was a whole lot better than waiting 6 months for AF.

Good luck, Hon.

I had the same problem and my Dr. prescribed Clomid and Prometrium (a progesterone supplement). Hope everything gets worked out soon. xx

have alook at this and see if it applies to you. Has your GP done any more tests??

usually progesterone islow because you havent ovulated. Once clomid is given and you start ovulating, the low progesterone will fix itself.

thanks for the further advice my old doc did say the next step for me would be the fertility clinic but the new doc whose taken over is 'anti fat' so i'm too scared to ask if i can go. plus i dont think the clinic would even do anything cause of my weight.

i know most of the prob is my weight its just doing something about it

In my PCT smokers and people with a BMI over 30 are turned away for assisted conception treatment as these factors do reduce the chances.
